Moreover, MH Mirpur has from the outset, focused on delivering aid though strong partnerships with grass-roots community groups, the Government and the private sector. Not only does this reduce duplication and wastage – evidence shows that only such partnerships can produce lasting change. May Allah reward all those who have made this work possible. The rapidly expanding Safe Drinking Programme, which has already seen 16 modern water filtration plants installed across Mirpur in less than a year has been the most prominent intervention made my MH Mirpur – however, much good work has been done in the areas of education, medical care and environmental protection to name but a few.

The genus Inula was described by LINNAEUS with thirteen species (1753, 1754). The pro - tologue used by LINNAEUS was quite generalized as he did not give the weightage to the finer details of floral characters. Later on, this genus was treated by variuos workers from time to time (viz., CANDOLLE, 1836; BENTHAM & HOOKER, 1873; BOISSIER, 1875; CLARKE, 1876; HOOKER, 1881; BECK, 1882; HOFFMANN, 1890; GORSCHKOVA, 1959; KITAMURA, 1960; GRIERSON, 1975; BALL & TUTIN, 1976; RECHINGER, 1980; ANDERBERG, 1991; KUMAR, 1995).

Application of case history based investigations for the stability study of a recent landslide dam Fawad S. Niazi School of CEE, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Kamran Akhtar School of CEE, National University of Sciences & Technology, Pakistan ABSTRACT Landslide dams are complex geomorphologic features which usually exist temporarily at the interface between hill-slope and the valley-floor. These temporary natural features have a potential of downstream damage resulting from possible failure. Brief accounts of two such landslide dams are presented along with a summary of the investigations conducted to study their failure potentials: South Fork Castle creek landslide dam near Mount St. Helens, Washington, USA and Hattian Bala landslide dam near Muzaffarabad, Kashmir. Although, these natural features formed in different parts of the world with different geologic settings, the case history of the earlier served as basis for formulating the investigation methodology for the stability study of the later. The comprehensive site investigations include topographic profiling, sampling of the matrix material for laboratory investigations (index properties, geomaterials classification, permeability and internal erosion potential assessments, electrical resistivity tests), slug tests and monitoring of water levels in the piezometers, time-lapse-water-infiltration field electrical resistivity surveys, seepage and deformation analyses via computer simulations and hydrological database seepage assessments.
